The Cult of One is a group that thinks there is no point to words that are more than one sound long. To them, a word is not meant to be long or hard to say. They thwart a lot of mage folk who want to make speech a class tool, bit by bit, as they talk in words that are short and to the point. They have had more and more join their ranks as time goes on, their cause a great muse to much of the folk in the land. This cause, spread to lots, is a source of fright to the rich and high class. From their scared eyes, it is a threat to their way of life.

Group Form

The Cult of One does not have a fixed set of roles in the group. In fact, one does not have to know one soul in the group to join it. It is just for those who want to see a change in the state of the world, to be a part of a whole to cause change. They want to shift the view of talk to be a thing all can do, and not a tool of the rich who are keen to push them down.

The Start

The start of the Cult of One group is from one man, who is called Mes Roughn. He went to a good school, and faced new foes. Mes was not weighed the same in the eyes of those who thought they were more great than him, and it was due to his speech. He did not say the same big words as him, and so they looked down on him for it. So, he would feed this no more. He chose to make his words all short sounds, not long words like his peers would use to show off. His short words were his form of change. He would spit in the face of what they thought was "good". He got his friends to do it with him, and the plan just spread from there. He did get kicked out of the school, but he and his group did not stop.

I love this so much.   (Also, don't hate me, but you have two instances of 'many' which has two syllables.)

let me fix that!
In the meantime, we can just. pretend that many is pronounced with one syllable in certain dialects or something? :p
